Streams are classified as young or old based on their characteristics and stages of development. Young streams, typically found in mountainous or steep terrains, are characterized by steep gradients, fast-flowing waters, and limited sediment deposition, leading to V-shaped valleys. In contrast, old streams, often located in flatter areas, have gentle gradients, meandering paths, and wider floodplains, resulting in more sediment accumulation and developed ecosystems. The classification reflects the stream's geomorphological processes and age-related features.

Old is twice as old as young was when old was half as old as young will be when young is 3 times as old as old was when old was 3 times as old as young Their ages total 48 How old is old?

The original question was too long to copy in. It was: "The sum of the ages of Old and Young is 48. Old is twice as old as young was when old was half as old as young will be when young is three times as old as old was when old was three times as old as young How old is old?" There is a rather strenuous algebraic solution.The answer is :Old is 30, Young is 18When Old was 18, Young was 6; when Old was 27 (1/2 of 54), Young was 15, and Old is twice that.If you change the sum to 32, then the ages become 20 and 12.When Old was 12, Young was 4; when Old was 18 (1/2 of 36), Young was 10.In each case, Old is always 5/3 as old as Young and 5/8 of the sum.

Old is twice as old as young was when old was half as old as young will be when young is three times as old as old was when old was three times as old as young how old is old?

* To get a numerical answer, you would need to know the sum of their ages, which was given as 48 in the original form of this question, where Old is 30, Young is 18.When Old was 18, Young was 6; when Old was 27 (1/2 of 54), Young was 15, and Old is twice that.If you change the sum to 32, then the ages become 20 and 12.When Old was 12, Young was 4; when Old was 18 (1/2 of 36), Young was 10.In each case, Old is 5/3 as old as Young and 5/8 of the sum of their ages.---Old = 2 * Young when Old was 1/2 [3 * (3 * Young)](see the related link for one solution)


How does a stream typically change as it flows from its headwaters to its mouth?

A river changes its flow pattern as it goes downstream. The water discharge of the river going downstream increases because the tributaries (streams, smaller rivers) join in to form a massive river that can range from a few feet to miles wide. The efficiency of the river flow decreases because the water from other sources join in, thus mixing in pollution and other fishes that thrive the area. The friction of the water increases because of the movement of the water that joins together, thus producing more current and energy for the water to flow downstream.


Old is twice as old as young was when old was half as old as young will be when young is 3 times as old as old was when old was 3 times as old as young Their ages total 49 How old is old?

The algebraic solution gives the age of Old as 5/3 Young, so there is no integer answer. The original form gave a sum of 48, which gives the integral solution Old = 30, Young = 18 Using 49, you get Old = 245/8 years (30.625) Young = 147/8 years (18.375)


Why A 24 year old boy likes a 16 year old girl?

The reason a 24 year old young man (he is no longer a boy) likes a 16 year old girl is she may be mature beyond her years, or, some young men have control issues and feel they can get a 16 year old to do just about anything they want. It is illegal for any young man over the age of 18 to date a 16 year old who is classified as a minor and 'Statutory Rape' charges could be pressed against him. They use to call it 'jail bait.'
